Apple FORCED to Hire Security: Government Will NOT Protect Their Stores From Crime

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:50 pm
I bet you thought part of your taxes, whether from you as an individual or from a corporation, goes toward public safety.  But, thanks to Prop. 47 and Prop. 57 people and stores are no longer protected.  There is no longer a pretense of police protection.  Steal under $950 worth of goods, day after day, […]

San Fran to Use Tax $$ to Finance Socialist Take Over of Energy?

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:47 pm
I told you so.  When San Fran and other cities announced they were going to create government alternatives to energy providers, I said this is going to kill off the private firms, using tax dollars to kill private jobs. “But the California Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously on Oct. 11 to change a key formula […]

Will Brown get chance to defend pension reform?

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:44 pm
Jerry Brown created a “reform” of the pension system.  Of course, thanks to lawsuits, his reform is merely words on paper.  Now it is going to the courts.  Will the courts allow the reform and keep the pension systems open—or agree to close down the pension system and kill off the future for millions of […]

San Ysidro School District Spent $276,000 On After-School Program That Never Happened

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:42 pm
Corruption?  Or just incompetent educators?  You decide. “A San Diego woman who touts her connections to former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and billionaire philanthropist T. Denny Sanford to promote her after-school programs sold the San Ysidro School District a sports and cheer package that never happened. And two years later, the district is still trying to […]

Walters: Pay-to-play ballot measures are flourishing

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:40 pm
Our ballot measures have become an act of extortion, blackmail and theft.  They are now a way for the rich and greedy to make lots of money, punish the taxpayers and the private firms just wanting to be treated equally. “As that investigation was unfolding, another form of political pay-to-play surfaced – ballot measures that […]

Exclusive: San Fran Pension System Approves Divestment of Five Fossil Fuel Companies

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:37 pm
Those running the San Fran pension system do not believe they priority are the retirees—instead they believe that radical junk science must be served, even if it means retirees will lose part of their pay.  These folks prefer junk science to obeying their oath of office to maximize returns for the workers—not maximize the political […]

LACBA President Tells of Drop in Membership, Plans for Revitalizing the Organization

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:34 pm
Thought you should know that a voluntary organization, the Los Angeles County Bar Association is losing membership.  Not because of fewer attorneys, but because the members do not think they are getting their moneys’ worth. “ Reformers charged that the association was plagued by secrecy, financial irresponsibility, and bullying of the sections, arguing that it needed […]

Proposition 11 would affect paramedic services

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:30 pm
This is one of the ballot measures you will vote on that was created by a union.  In this case the union was not able to get what they want via negotiations, so they go to the ballot.  Again, regardless of its passages the cost of emergency services will go up.  Last year when I […]

Sweetwater Central Office Staff Climbed as Enrollment Dropped

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:26 pm
Government educators take care of themselves, first.  Even with declining enrollment they make sure they and their friends have well paying jobs.  Test scores, bigotry in the classroom, hate being taught does not matter—it is getting the administrators job to administer themselves, not create great education that counts.  The San Diego County district “Sweetwater” is […]

Healthcare workers’ union counts dialysis victory in dollars spent against it

By Stephen Frank on Oct 22, 2018 09:08 pm
What is the purpose of the union attack on private dialysis centers?  Not to help the patients, but to get dues from 9,000 workers or to bankrupt the private firms.  Instead, what will happen is that the over $100 million being spent by the private firms to keep control of their investment, the patients and […]
